Which corporate hospital in Hyderabad has the best Facebook Cover image? “Integrity is the ability to stand by an idea.” ― Ayn Rand,  The Fountainhead Most of you thought it is Apollo Health City's Facebook cover image but it's not. Surprised? Read on.  Though Apollo Health City Facebook page has 65k followers, using a generic campaign creative on its cardiac treatment expertise looks vague. My feeling is that either a patient or a star heart transplant surgeon should have been at the heart of the cover image. In case of the latter, my bet is on Dr Alla Gopala Krishna Gokhale, Cardio Thoracic Surgeon, who could have been featured instead but the management may be wary of a doctor becoming bigger than the hospital.

Amazon.in Widgets It is the beginning of a good sign. In fact, it is a proud moment for Osmania General Hospital after the brain death declaration of Bhanu Kumar, 30, resident of Amberpet, was signed by doctors.

Though private hospitals have been converting more number of brain death patients for cadaver organ transplants,  years of reluctance in signing brain death declaration by government doctors had killed many terminally ill patients without a transplant.

NEW MILESTONE Meanwhile, Osmania General Hospital crossed a new milestone after departments of Gastroenterology, Urology, Nephrology & Anaesthesia completed successful transplants of liver and kidney in two different patients. The liver tr...

Surprising to know that Apollo Hospital doesn't lead in organ donation in Hyderabad.  Actually, it is the hospital topping the Jeevandan charts in Hyderabad when it comes to organ donation but what's surprising is how the  Nation al Organ & Tissue Transplant  Orgnization  (NOTTO) awarded  Yashoda Hospitals,  Hyderabad with 'Best  Hospital in Organ Donation'. The award was recently collected by Dr  G. Rav inder Rao, the Chairman of Yas hoda Hospital Group at   an event organised  by  at  Constitution Club Annexe, New  Delhi from  Honourable Minster  of  State  for Heath & Family welfa re(HFW)   Ms.   Anupriya Patel. The event was also attended by the Health Minstrer  of Tamil Nadu  along with  CEO  of Je...
